What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in hundreds of biochemical reactions in the human body. It helps regulate muscle and nerve function, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and is involved in making protein, bone, and DNA.

Why test for Magnesium?

Testing for magnesium is useful for determining whether there is a magnesium deficiency or surplus in the body, both of which can cause health issues. It can be particularly useful for people with certain health conditions, such as kidney disease, or for people experiencing symptoms indicative of a magnesium deficiency or surplus.

What does it indicate?

Magnesium levels in urine provide an indication of how the body absorbs, uses, and excretes magnesium. This can aid in diagnosing abnormal magnesium levels that may point to various health problems.

What does a high magnesium level mean?

A high magnesium level in the urine may indicate excessive intake of magnesium through diet or supplements, or it may be an indication of reduced kidney function, where the body struggles to excrete magnesium.

What does a low magnesium level mean?

A low magnesium level may indicate a deficiency of this mineral, which can lead to various health problems such as muscle cramps, fatigue, and heart rhythm disorders. It can be caused by insufficient intake through diet, increased loss of magnesium through the kidneys, or an issue with the absorption of magnesium in the intestinal tract.
